Cantina Carlotta

Well, I drove down to El Paso on my business

Well, I was just another executive workin' for the bank

When I crossed that border line, I dropped my business

And I wound up for three days in the Juarez tank



Cantina Carlotta, lady after I met you

Well, I knew that I was ready to start somethin' new

So I dropped my Brook Brothers suits and all my fancy painted ties

Ah, just for one night with Carlotta and her painted eye



When I got out of jail, I went lookin' for Carlotta

Yeah, I needed some more of that sweet affectionada

But at the cantina they told me she's gone to Guadalajara

And when I asked it she'd be back they just said d'nada



Cantina Carlotta, lady after I met you

Well, I knew that I was ready to start somethin' new

So I dropped my Brook Brothers suits and all my fancy painted ties, oh ties

Just for one night with Carlotta, yeah, one night with Carlotta

Ah, uno noches Carlotta and her painted eye
